"What is this move called?"

Emperor Luo hovered in mid-air, drops of blood oozing from his body, each drop immensely dense, almost weighing a thousand pounds. When they hit the ground, they pierced hundreds of meters deep, extraordinarily terrifying.

"Burial Sword!"

Chu Ming's face was calm. The Burial Sword was almost his ultimate secret move, one sword to bury a person, five swords to bury the land, burying heaven and earth, an absolute kill within a thousand miles.

The primordial power within Emperor Luo tried to heal the wounds, but the moment they closed, they were shattered by the ravaging Secrets of Slaughter pouring in.

"What a fine move, the Burial Sword. We shall meet again in the battle for kingship!"

Emperor Luo took a deep breath and spoke slowly. Then, without looking back, he plunged into the space ahead, where turbulent spatial currents roamed and quickly healed.

Whoosh!

Black hair fluttering, Chu Ming lightly landed on the ground, casting a sidelong glance at Black Eyes.

"Please, spare my life!"

"Please, don't kill me!"

"..."

At this moment, Black Eyes looked ghastly pale, despair written in his eyes. Emperor Luo had been his hope, but now that Emperor Luo was defeated by Chu Ming and ignored him, he felt as though the entire sky had collapsed.

Seeing Chu Ming's gaze sweep over him, he dared not hesitate. He immediately knelt on the ground and begged with all his might. Even the fiercest beings are filled with fear in the face of death.

Whoosh!

Chu Ming's white sleeve flicked gently as a sharp glint flashed through his eyes. A burst of sword light shot out, piercing directly through Black Eyes' mind.

Thump!

Blood trickled onto the ground, and Chu Ming looked up at a certain place in the air. After a cold snort, the space rippled like water and gradually returned to calm.

"Chu Ming, are you alright?"

Wang Xuanyi flew to Chu Ming's side and asked. At this moment, Chu Ming appeared extremely unfamiliar to him. At the tea ceremony, Chu Ming had also been dazzling, but at best, he had been on par with him. Now, however, they were worlds apart. Even if he worked hard for a lifetime, he could never catch up.

"I'm fine!"

Chu Ming replied lightly, waving his sleeve to collect Black Eyes' storage ring into his arms.

The person who had just snorted coldly was obviously Emperor Luo. He had pretended to leave at first but had actually stayed hidden in the shadows to observe how Chu Ming would deal with Black Eyes. What he hadn't expected was that Chu Ming would be so decisive, killing Black Eyes with a single strike.

This naturally displeased Emperor Luo, but there was nothing he could do.

As Chu Ming's gaze swept across, the faces of the martial artists watching turned pale. Among them, a core member of the Blood Cloud Palace turned as white as a sheet, not daring to make a sound for fear that Chu Ming would explode and kill him too. Seeing Chu Ming's gaze only skim over before moving on, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

However, he was immediately filled with immense shame and turned to leave, face flushed.

A quarter of Southern Celestial City was completely destroyed. What surprised Chu Ming was that the City Lord's Mansion did not stop the rampant destruction caused by him and Emperor Luo.

One must know that although Rainbow City was not as large as Southern Celestial City, the Rainbow King was a half-step Life and Death Realm king. As a city several times larger, Southern Celestial City's City Lord should certainly be a true Life and Death Realm king.

Any Life and Death Realm king was a terrifying existence, comparable to a nuclear bomb, even a Low Tier king.

Da da da…

Roaring sounds echoed from the sky. Then, several dozen Black Blood Wolf Horses galloped through the air, figures swaying atop them, emanating majestic auras.

The Black Blood Wolf Horse was a Low Tier Sixth Level demon beast, containing a trace of the Dark Blood Wolf's bloodline. It could travel a hundred thousand miles a day at full speed, and one alone was worth several thousand Upper Grade Spirit Stones. Now the sky was densely filled with them, thousands strong, leading the way a man in black armor, face cold and dry, eyes sunk deep, his body covered in battle tattoos, possessing the strength of the Eighth Layer of the Realm of Transcendence, and his mount the Black Blood Wolf Horse King of the Seventh Level Top Tier.

"The Black Wolf Guard from the City Lord's Mansion is here. Are they coming to capture Chu Ming?"

As soon as the Black Wolf Guard appeared, it caused a stir throughout Southern Celestial City. This was because the Black Wolf Guard was an elite force in the city, numbering only several thousand, but each was a martial artist of at least the Guiyuan Realm Fifth Layer, with many powers of the Realm of Transcendence among them.

The Black Wolf Guard fought on all fronts, and Southern Celestial City's long-standing peace owed much to them. In the city, the Black Wolf Guard was a force everyone feared and respected.

"It's impossible. Chu Ming defeated Emperor Luo and can at least rank seventh on the Transcendence List. He has a great chance of becoming an emperor in the future. The City Lord's Mansion would sooner ally with him than offend him."

A perceptive martial artist shook his head gently as he analyzed.

Whoosh!

Psshh!

The Black Wolf Guard's leader leaped from his mount, landing silently, showcasing the terrifying precision of their spiritual power.

"Are you the young hero Chu?"

Xu Xuanze cupped his hands, his expression indifferent, and asked faintly. As an Eighth Layer power in the Realm of Transcendence, his respect for Chu Ming was already significant. Chu Ming did not mind.

"Yes!"

Chu Ming responded calmly. The moment Xu Xuanze appeared, he felt a wave of killing intent. If his suspicions were correct, Xu Xuanze had shed over a million lives.

"Young hero Chu, the City Lord has important matters to discuss with you. Please follow me to the City Lord's Mansion."

Xu Xuanze looked up and spoke slowly.

"Alright."

Chu Ming nodded. He did not think the City Lord of Southern Celestial City would harbor ill intentions towards him. If a Life and Death Realm king had ill-will, there was no need for Xu Xuanze to invite him; the king could kill him in an instant. They were simply on different levels.

"Chu Ming, this…"

Wang Xuanyi wanted to advise Chu Ming but stopped short. Chu Ming gestured with his hand and said, "This is a Sound Transmission Jade Pendant. Find an inn first and contact me directly if anything comes up."

The creation of Sound Transmission Jade Pendants was a skill mastered by the powers of the Realm of Transcendence, who could start utilizing the Power of Space. Sound Transmission Jade Pendants were just one application.

Wang Xuanyi took the Sound Transmission Jade Pendant, but before he could say more, Chu Ming had turned to leave with Xu Xuanze.

In the air, thousands of flying demon beasts soared in unison, exuding majesty. Chu Ming stood side by side with Xu Xuanze, his gaze sweeping over the Black Wolf Guard, internally admiring their prowess. They truly were a force to be reckoned with.

"I wonder what matters the City Lord has for me?"

Chu Ming transmitted secretly.

"The City Lord did not specify, young hero Chu will understand when we arrive, and there is no need to worry; the City Lord bears no ill will towards you."

Xu Xuanze responded blandly, saying little more.
